Sussex Concession.

1t is undignifed to quibble over the value
of that phrase in the Constitution enacting
a reference to the largest majority of votes
in any of the three proceeding elections.
The trainers of the Constitution could
have had only one meaning in their brains
when concocting the phrase and that mean
ing, the first one that would strike any or
dinary paraphrasel cannot with any decency
Or candor be departed from.
We have undoubtedly fallen short of the
required legal number of about 1000 votes.
So far that is settled. What is next to
be considered is that the insufficient vote is
yet so very large one that it indicates
without possibility of misconstruction that
the large majority of legal voters in Della
ware desire a remodeing of the Consti-
tion. 1t also means unqualihedly that the
next legislative issue will be the question of
reform and that all, without exception, who
aspire to seats in the Dover Assembly must
pledge themselves unreservedly as reform
ers to some certain extent or other.
and reforms will naturally occupy the at
tention of the citizens of Delaware until
such time as constitutional action be posi-
BILE OF beiug made. Whether the latter be
done by convention or by enactment is a
moot point just now.
But there are questions ripe for investga-
tion which may be taken in hand this mo-
ment and upon which there is great diver
gency of opinion among reformers them
selves Among the IA 600 voters for reform
there is quite diversity of opinion as to
the extent and phase of New Castles con
ceded needs of additional representation.
Nobody forgets the significant statement of
Mr.. Treat Of Sussex, when in his speech in
the Opera House, in almost querulous tones,
he begged of his listeners "not to ask too
much of Sussex y and yet Mr.. Treat was
one of the leading Republican Reform
stump speakers.
New Castle has plenty of work before
her in digestiug and assimilating the bill Of
the constitutional fare ready cooked for her
by her Sussex friends. We are not
informed of what the programme exactly is
but bearing in mind what Mr.. Treat, who
represents Sussex, SAID, we cannot bs over

English author, Annie Keary Edward B.
Payne tells funny Boston story, entitled
"Baked Beans" and Brown Bread" which

The Episcopal Cathedral,

That church which the Rev. Phillip Brooks
characterized the other day in st. Louis as
one of "impotent impudence and impudent
impotency" seems to be getting along very
we'll Notwithstanding the great Boston
preachers harsh epigrain.
The Trustees of the new proposed Protes
ant Episcopal cathedral in New York city
paid Saturdaylast $3.50, 900 fos the site aloue,
ofthe magnificent ediice that Episcopa lians
propose erecting as the metropolitan cathe-
dral in New York.
The New York Times said editorially last
Sunday. sit is matter for public cangratu-
lation that site should have been obtained
for the Protestant Episcopul cathedral
Whether or not the site is the very finest that
could have been chosen on the island for iGs
purpose, it is certainly very fine one. The
building withstand on commanding plateau,
where 1t can be well seen from distance
and from below, and it will not be far from
the future centre OF population of the island.
Certainly, so long as New-York remains
great city the site of the cathedral cannot be
out of the way. 1t is to be hoped that the
authorities may be able to deal with the more
dstficult question of design as successfully as
tley have dealt with the first question that
came before them in connection with the
cathedral
Yes, and the latter probably will be the
great trouble.
In one branch of art, namely painting,
there is little doubt but that modern results
are vastly superior to what the ''old masters"
attained to. But it is totally otherwise as
regards the sister branches of architecture
and sculpture.
Clearly we yet sit at the feet of the authors
Of the Parthenon, St. Peters, Koln cathedral,

Canterbury, St. Pauls, Rheims, Rouen, aud

sions. But unfortunately SO also were the
authors of that repulsive architectural pile

on each occasion of being viewed cause a
shudder of horror at their cold unsightliness
entirely bereftas the costly pile is of one
attribute of beauty or poetical impress. The
legislative halls at Albany, New York illus
trate another instance of failure in any phrase
of architectural ceptability-perhaps with
the single exception of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Wife In Erslhce

n Take now the shop keeping classes.
There you will see the wife tho active part
ner of the husband. Behold Them both as
the commercial traveller displays his goods
on the counter. The wife is supreme. Her
objections are without appeal, her opinion
tiual 1t is she who generally has charge of
the books and the cash box, and neither
books nor cash were ever trusted to a better
guardianship. She is not mere house
keeper, with or without wages; she is the
partner, not merely sleeping partner.
This not only enables her to be of great help
to her husband, but it also enables her, if
she happens to become widow, to carry on
the business without her husband, to be iu-
dependent, and to bring up her children.
She has not, to obtain her living on her
husbands death, to become working
housekeepsr or purse; she is the mistress
of her own house as before, and now the
head of the firm. In her shop she is most
polite and empresse, but never servile, and
if you wish her to take you for a gentleman,
don't keep your hat on while you are en-
gagged with her in commercial transaction.
1t is said that Louis XIV, the most haugh-
ty and magnificent monarch of modern times
used to lift his hat even to the female SER
wants of his court. If so, no man need think

Elephants in the Lumber Business.

Elephants in the Lumber Business
Lazy and clumsy looking as the elephant
appears in our menageries, where it is merely
an object of curiosity, in Asia it is as useful
an animal as the horse, and is, indeed, EN-.
ployed in greater variety of ways.
There are few, if any, tasks which horse
can be trusted to perform without careful
and constant guidance; whereas the elephant
is frequently given as much independence
OF action as a man would have for the same
work. This is notably the case in the lum-
Der yards of Rangoon and Maulmein, where
the entire operation of MI wing and piling
the heavy timber is performed by male ele-
plants without any special supervis ion by
the keepers.
The logs to be moved are teakwood, which
is very heavy They are cut into le ngths OF
twenty feet with diameter Or perhaps
square, of about foot. An elephant will
go to log, kneel down, thrust his tusks
under the middle of it, curl his trunk over
it, test it to see that it is evenly balanced,
and then rise with it and easily carry it to
the pile which is being made. Placing the
log carefully on the pile in fits proper place.
the sagacious animal will step back few
PAGES and measure with his eye to determine
whether or not the log needs pushing one
way or another. It will then make any
necessary alteration of position. In this
way without word of command from its
mahont, or driver, it will go on with its
work.
To do any special task, 1t must, of course,
be directed by the mahout; but it is marvel
Gus to see how readily this great creature
comprehends its instructions, and how in
genously it makes use of its strength. If
a log too heavy to be carried is to be moved
short distance, the elephant will bend low,
place his great head against the end of the
log and then with sudden exertion of
strength and weight throw his body forward
and fairly push the log along; or, to move
the log any great distance, he will encircle
it with chain and drag his load behind
him.
AS rule, however, the work of dragg ng
is done by the female elephants, since, having
no tusks, they cannot carry logs as the male
elephants do. man could hardly display
more Judgment in the adjustment of the
rope or chain around log. nor could man
with his two hands tie aud unite knots more
skillfully than do they with their trunks

Weak yascfIIating OgIesby.

Gov. Oglesby of Ill. made himself ridicu-
lous in the ages to come by his insipid rea-
soning which led him to commute the
death sentences of Schwab and Fielden.
Preparatory to announcing the result the
Governor says: A careful consideration of
the evidence iu the record Of the trial of the
parties. as well as of all alleged and claimed
fer them outside of the record, has failed
to produce upon ny mind any impression
tending to impeach the verdict of the jury or
jugment of the trial court or of the Supreme
Court affirming the guilt of all these PARTIES
Satisfied therefore as am of their guilt" In
the face of the plain declaration of his in fav-
or of the guilt of these convicts as declared
by the jury and rc-afirmed by the Supreme
Court of the United States yet he commutes
the sentences OF two simply and solely for
the reason that they asked for it and the re-
naming four, no more guilty than the two
favored by Executive clemency, must hang
because they asked for pardon rather than
a co nmat ltion of sentence.
Gov. .Oglesby has simply demonstrated his
unfitness for position that demands clear
head and strong hand.
